Star Wars Movies Announced: Rogue one and Han Solo Origins

Star Wars fans rejoice. We will finally get a film adaptation of the backstory of our most beloved smuggler. I'm sure most of you have heard already, but for the very few who are still living under a rock (or returning from R&R like I am) this is pretty exciting news. The Lego Movie directors, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord will be directing the anthology, meaning "THIS MOVIE WILL BE AWESOME". My apologies, the Lego song is stuck in my head right now. (its just so catchy) The movie is scheduled to release May 2018, so we all will have to wait...impatiently for this one. In the meantime, we do have the first anthology due out next year: Rogue One. The new films will not be episodes, as the previous ones were. Instead, they aimed to focus on the many grey areas and various stories within the Star Wars Universe. This particular movie all revolves around stealing the Death Star plans and takes place in between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope.

All in all, three new Star Wars movies on the horizon is a pretty good thing to look forward to.
